Biological rhythm and depression severity mediate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents with depressive disorder.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is prevalent in adolescents with first-episode major depressive disorder (MDD). Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and biological rhythm disorder (BRD) have been recognized as risk factors for NSSI in patients with MDD. However, the mechanisms that lead to NSSI remain unclear. A total of 270 adolescents with first-episode depression were consecutively recruited from the outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in China to measure the symptoms of ACEs, NSSI, BRD, and severity of depression using the Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire, Adolescent Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Questionnaire, Self-Rating of Biological Rhythm Disorder for Adolescents, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Our findings indicate that ACEs are associated with an increased risk of NSSI. A sequential mediation model further revealed that BRD and depression severity mediated the relationship between ACEs and NSSI. This study contributes to understanding the pathophysiology of NSSI. In addition, improving biological rhythms in adolescents with MDD who experience ACEs could help decrease the severity of depression and prevent them from engaging in NSSI behaviors.
